Question

Got a crack in the laptop display, want to "shift" screen

Feb 21, 2016 9:55AM PST

Hello, everyone
Yesterday I accidentally stepped on my laptop, which resulted in a side strip of display becoming white (not showing anything).
AMD Catalyst Control Center only contains options like resolution and aspect ratio (but that doesn't suit me to the ground) but, through searching the internet, I found out that it should feature additional options (scaling). Updating/upgrading the CCC and graphic driver haven't changed anything.
What I need is to shift/move the screen to the left in order to fully view all that's in there. I hope someone knows an app (or a feasible solution) that can do the job and postpone my buying a new laptop.
My specs:
My device is PackardBell EasySuite 11 TS
Video card: AMD Radeon HD 6620G
OS: Windows 10

P.S. The white space on the image attached was drawn manually (it is the monitor that is damaged, not the gpu).

So far I've yet to see this feature.

Folk tend to get by with moving the window away from the failed area.

Back then when I had a desktop computer, the monitor was equipped with a bunch of useful options, including the one I mentioned.

The failed are is so vast that I won't manage to avoid it. Need an app.

Maybe ask someone to write it?

I took a look around and never found such an app that would auto avoid bad areas of a display.

What do you mean you can't avoid it? Windows has a basic feature that we can resize and move app windows.

Saw an alert in email.

Monitors for desktops had such an adjustment. As there is not monitor there is no such adjustment. If there was an app, well you would have found it on google, etc.
